Listen "Female Spies with Helen Fry"
Episode Synopsis
Women have been part of the espionage world since intelligence agencies were established in the early 1900s, so it's no great surprise that they became key assets during the First and Second World Wars, but what does that mean?
Historian Helen Fry talks with our editor about Mata Hari, Edith Cavell and other less known stories from the Cambridge Spies to the Special Operations Executive.
Helen is the author of Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars
